Alligator Snapping Turtle Found in China – Picture

Look at this picture of the alligator snapping turtle. This is the first time that I have seen something like this. The alligator snapping turtle was caught by a surprised Chinese fisherman in Weishan Lake, Anhui province.

The species is only native to North America and was probably someone’s pet before being dumped in the lake, the local fishing department said.

The spokesman for the Jining Fishing Bureau said this was the first time an alligator snapping turtle had been found in the local water system.
